Product summary

What does the product description say?
Vitamin C delivers an all-round brightening effect, really revealing an eye-catching luminosity that creates a healthier-looking surface.
niacinamide
1.5% -
2.3%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture.
The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production
sodium ascorbyl phosphate
1.7% -
2.6%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
butyrospermum parkii butter
0.45% -
1.1%
Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High
Concentration: Insufficient!
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Thanks to Shea Butter and Sunflower Seed Oil, your complexion will appear smoother and silkier than before while Niacinamide targets uneven tone, honing in on areas of pigmentation, whether dark spots or blemishes.
